The Diamondback Sidekick DB055AA041 delivers dual-caliber versatility in a compact package, allowing shooters to switch between .22 LR and .22 WMR without changing cylinders. This 9-shot revolver features a 4.5-inch barrel with burnt bronze Cerakote finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and visual appeal.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional single-caliber revolvers, the Sidekick accommodates both rimfire cartridges through its innovative cylinder design. The burnt bronze Cerakote coating provides superior durability compared to standard bluing, resisting scratches and environmental wear. The 9-round capacity exceeds most comparable revolvers in this class, offering additional firepower without sacrificing reliability.
Key Features
- Dual caliber capability - fires both .22 LR and .22 WMR cartridges
- 9-round cylinder capacity for extended shooting sessions
- 4.5-inch barrel length balances accuracy and portability
- Burnt bronze Cerakote finish with black cylinder accent
- Black checkered nylon grips for secure handling
- Single/double action trigger mechanism
- Adjustable rear sight for precision targeting
The 4.5-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for both cartridge types while maintaining manageable size for field carry. Shooters can utilize affordable .22 LR for practice sessions, then switch to higher-velocity .22 WMR for small game hunting or pest control. The Cerakote finish withstands outdoor conditions better than traditional finishes, maintaining appearance through extended use.
